Thisi is a nice proper Rolls Rocye Siilver Shadow, a 1980 US model, as best as I can discern. It's finished in a two tone scheme, as I believe most all these cars were, with the top sections in what appears to be a "champagne" or "smoke silver" finish. The bottoms/sides are in a dark brown metallic, I believe it is called Walnut. It makes a really, really good appearance, inside and out. The interior is especially nice. The odometer shows approximately 17000 miles, but PLEASE NOTE: This car is being sold "mileage exempt" under Ga law (vehicles more than 10 years old). I have a fairly recent ticket from last year that shows a remove/repair/and re-install on the speedometer for a broken gear, so I need to make that clear. Frankly, many facets of the car do look like 17k miles, but I want to make sure that I give total disclousre on the miles. As with any 34 year old British car, there are good and bad features. I will do my best to give you the most accurate description: THE GOOD
More Good: All power windows, central locking, and power seat functions are working. Has the original Blaupunkt analog pushbutton US radio, and the original dash mounted Pioneer cassette player in its small cubby hole (don't know if it works, can't find a casseette!). Lights, brake lights, etc, all work withtout issue. Carpets look excellent, and it has the expensive lambswool floor mats that are also well kept. I have what appear to be the original books, manuals, driver's guides, etc in the proper leather pouch. Not smoky, and no foul odors. Glass looks to be orginal and in excellent shape. THE BAD (and it's not that bad):
There is a lot to like about this car. Take another look at the photos, and the average person would be amazed to know its age. The interior is really great--leather, wood, and chrome trim are super good. With a little TLC, and the right Rolls wrench, you can have a beautiful motorcar for not a lot of dollars. The car belongs a client's wife, who received it after her mother passed. It was used as a halo piece for the family's formalwear shop, hence the limited use. Since she has passed, they clients have no place to keep it, nor the interest in keeping it up. (They aren't "car people"). And as you already know, not driving these things is about the worst thing you can do to them. If you will call or email me, I will do my best to give you the most accurate and honest answers I can. Please note: I know there are many long distance and international buyers on Ebay. But I will NOT sell you this car until you have, at the very least, talked with the most recent tech who has worked on it. He spoke highly of the car and will tell you what he honestly knows. He would give you a a good PPI for very little money. This is not usually my kind of car (it's not German). But these are good folks who need some help, and someone will get a lovely motorcar for far less than the price of a basic pickup truck. Check me out at www.encoremacon.com. I am about an hour south of ATL Hartsfield aiprort and can help you with transportation, logistics, etc. Pleae note that my feedback is 100% and I want to keep it that way. Paypal is OK for the intial deposit, but wire only for the balance. I have the lien free GA title in hand. Thanks for looking! Let's find her a good home! |

Here's an official peek at the Rolls-Royce SUV
Thu, Dec 1 2016Rolls-Royce let out a pair of new images of Project Cullinan, the company's attempt to deliver ultra-luxury and brick-like aerodynamics in an SUV form factor. These images mark the first time we've seen Project Cullinan in its production body, albeit clad with swirly camouflage. All our previous spy photos showed a Phantom with a ridiculous wing, for example. These new images hide the wagon-like traits of the rear, but are a strong sign that Rolls has finalized the Cullinan's design. The prominent slatted grille and imposing headlights are the big design calling cards, but even with the camouflage, the upright fascia and long hood stand out as distinguishing styling traits. Even the mirrors say "Rolls-Royce", sitting atop delicate stalks with sizable housings on top. We can't divine much about the Cullinan's tail or rear haunches, so there's still some mystery yet to be revealed. With these are official images out, we expect an influx of spy images in the very near future. According to the company, Cullinan will move to the Arctic Circle for cold-weather testing after the Christmas holidays. Later next year, it's off to what's likely the SUV's primary market – the Middle East – for hot weather testing. Naturally, our spies should return a bevy of images of both hot and cold-weather testing. Stay tuned. View 2 Photos
Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II rolls in with some subtle updates [w/video]
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Downsizing is a relative term - especially when it comes to a Rolls-Royce. But that's just what the British luxury automaker did with the release of the Ghost in 2010. Sure, it's over seventeen and a half feet long (over eighteen in Extended Wheelbase form), but that's still shorter than the 19 feet the standard Phantom stretches, and that much shorter than the twenty-foot-long Phantom EWB.
The Ghost has now been on the market for four years, high time Rolls gave it a little refresh - and that's just what it's done here in Geneva with the release of the Ghost Series II. It's essentially the same vehicle as the outgoing model, but the Ghost Series II (like the Phantom Series II released in 2012) benefits from a host of minor updates. The styling has been subtly revised, and the sumptuous cabin space has been updated with such features as a new infotainment display, rotary controller and trim.
Although Goodwood hasn't released official output figures, the 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 (only the second twelve-cylinder engine in Rolls-Royce history) carries over from the existing model. We might hope for some of the power upgrades released for the Wraith or the Ghost V-Specification, but what we know for sure is that it's mated to a Satellite Aided Transmission that uses GPS data to 'read' the road ahead and choose the right gear for the turns coming up. It's a nifty technology pioneered by parent company BMW, and along with the other updates rolled out for the Series II, promises to make the hyper-luxurious driving experience that much more so.
U.S. issues new tariff threat, this time against British-built cars
Mon, Jan 27 2020WASHINGTON — Britain is the United States' closest ally but their long friendship may be sorely tested as the two countries try to forge a new trade agreement after Britain's exit from the European Union. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Saturday in London that he was optimistic that a bilateral deal with Britain could be reached as soon as this year. But Mnuchin gave up no ground after a second meeting with his UK counterpart, Sajid Javid. Javid has insisted that Britain will proceed with a unilateral digital services tax, despite a U.S. threat to levy retaliatory tariffs on British-made autos. Mnuchin told reporters after Saturday's meeting that such taxes would discriminate against big U.S. tech companies like Alphabet Inc's Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. The UK Treasury declined to comment on the private meeting. The divide highlights the challenges ahead as the Trump administration seeks a new bilateral agreement with Britain, part of a broader push to rebalance relations with nearly all its major trading partners. The stakes are high — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pegged the trade deal with United States as a way to ease the pain of breaking with Europe, Britain's largest trade partner. U.S. President Donald Trump, has promised a "massive" trade deal to support Brexit, the product of a populist movement similar to his "America First" agenda. The goodwill and special relationship the two countries have enjoyed for decades may not count for much, experts say. "Trump is not going to be doing Johnson any favors," said Amanda Sloat, a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution in Washington. "He's not going to give him a trade deal without major concessions." Even before the digital tax issue arose, the Trump administration threatened to tax foreign car imports, which could hit British-made Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, and Honda Civic hatchback cars. Stiff U.S. trade demands include increased access for U.S. farm goods, concessions that will be difficult for Britain's entrenched natural food culture to swallow. The United States also wants Britain to change the way its National Health Service prices drugs and allow in more U.S. pharmaceuticals, which could prove politically unpopular for Johnson's government. Washington's demand that London block Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd for national security reasons could also cloud talks.
